This made me excited enough to dance out of lurkdom for a second. 
That's a *really* neat insight. I think it works, too. It's 
interesting that such a big deal is made of Harry saying Voldie's 
name all the time (It will be intersting to see if the name "Tom 
Riddle" gets more use from Harry.). Wow, I'm going to have to find my 
D&D books and do some reading... Voldemort is definitely more than a 
level 18 wizard! :) Yay! Thanks. I love this kind of stuff.

Hmm... He're some speculation for you. Might the destruction of 
Voldemort's skull become important (as it is for a demilich?) Okay, 
now I'm reaching. I'll go sit in my dark corner again.
